Nic teaches that reconciliation is a central practice of life in God’s kingdom, rooted in Jesus’ command in Matthew 5:23–24 to seek peace with others before offering worship. True reconciliation restores what sin, pride, and misunderstanding have fractured, embodying the heart of God who brings estranged people back into right relationship. It requires humility to confess wrongs, courage to take initiative, and grace to forgive without demanding repayment. Scripture portrays reconciliation as a visible expression of the gospel—seen in stories like Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers, and the prodigal son—where repentance and mercy create restored unity. Within the church, reconciliation sustains genuine community, breaking cycles of resentment and hostility that erode spiritual life. Believers are therefore called to prioritize mending relationships as a form of worship and discipleship, reflecting God’s reconciling work through Christ and making peace a lived reality among His people.
